What players say

89% of 9,302 reviews are positive · 80% of 63 in the last 30 days

Players praise the campaign, live-action story scenes, and faction and unit variety. Their dominant complaint is that a multiplayer-focused balance patch reduced campaign resource income, making many missions excessively difficult even on easier settings. Some players also report crashes and Windows 11 compatibility problems.
